Chapter 284 The eighth-ranked killer in Jianghu has arrived

"All the villagers in Yu Village were killed?" Xiao Yue simply couldn't believe it. She stared at Xiao Yuheng with a frown.

"Yes, Heng'er sent a few people to protect them at all times, but for some reason, they actually ran away with others at the city gate. When our people found them, they had all died behind the noodle shop outside the city." Xiao Yuheng said.

"So, these people disappeared when we returned to Nandun Village from the city gate?" Xiao Yue asked.

"It was probably at that time, aunt." Xiao Yuheng nodded.

"It seems that someone has been watching us and plotting against us all the way!" Xiao Yue nodded, she looked at Xiao Yuheng and said: "Heng'er, take people and bring Wan Yu here, let him live in the city lord's mansion temporarily."

"Yes!" Xiao Yuheng received the order from her aunt and immediately got up and went outside.

"Princess, take a look!" Wen Xu handed over a case file, which was the autopsy report of the coroner: "Wan Wenxiu, three and a half months pregnant, was stabbed seven times?"

"Yes, five stabs in the chest and two in the back, but each stab avoided the fetus in the belly!" Wen Xu said.

"Coroner, are there any legends or taboos in Yunzhou?" Xiao Yue asked.

"To answer the princess, there is no taboo about these things in Yunzhou." The coroner quickly answered.

"There was no reservation, but the knife avoided the fetus. Then, there are only two possibilities!" Xiaoyue said.

"One is that the person who killed Wan Wenxiu was someone she knew very well and cared about the child very much, but he had to kill her and hated her very much! Another possibility is that this woman protected the child with both hands...protecting the child. Does she love the child so much?"

Baby Ruoxi thought, and Ci Xin came up.

He took Xi'er from Xiaoyue's arms and said, "Xi'er, you are so smart!"

"Actually, mother thinks the same as me!" Baby Ruoxi looked at her mother.

Xiaoyue heard what Xi'er said at the dock, so she naturally didn't dare to let Xi'er know that she could hear Xi'er's voice.

"Yes, your mother is a very smart woman!" Ci Xin nodded, then he looked at Zhang Baiyun and said, "Wan Wenxiu cared a lot about the baby in her belly, so when she was attacked, she covered the baby in her belly with her hands and pushed the murderer hard at the same time, so her hands were almost stabbed!"

"The murderer actually stabbed her belly, but missed?" Xiao Yue asked.

"Yes, look at the bottom of the case file!" Ci Xin nodded. "

Zhang Baiyun, you are very suspicious!" Xiao Yue said.

"Your Highness, I, your humble servant, I really didn't do it. Over the years, even if Wenxiu was a little more irritable, I held back. You don't know that Wenxiu saved my life back then!" Zhang Baiyun said.

According to Zhang Baiyun's narration, everyone knew it.

Back then, when Zhang Baiyun was still a child, his family was broken up and he fainted in a ditch due to hunger. If the Wan family hadn't saved him, he would have died at that time.

Zhang Baiyun grew up in the Wan family. He has always been diligent and studious, determined to pass the imperial examination and return to repay the Wan family.

Therefore, he worked hard over the years and finally passed the imperial examination. A few years ago, he was appointed as the city lord of Yunzhou City.

When he was the city lord, the Wan family married their eldest daughter to him. Over the years, Zhang Baiyun has been particularly good to Wan Wenxiu and doted on her.

"How many years has Wan Wenxiu been married to you?" Xiaoyue asked.

"Princess, Wenxiu has been married to me for four years." Zhang Baiyun said.

"Four years, and she's only pregnant this year!" Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows.

On the side, Ci Xin raised the corner of her lips: "Xi'er, your mother is so smart!"

"You have said it several times!" Baby Ruoxi looked at this guy. Why did she feel that this guy didn't care about anything and didn't use his brain since he left home? So baby Ruoxi pressed her little hand on his head: "The brain is still there, it's not lost in the capital!"

"Xi'er!" Ci Xin almost roared at the little girl. The little girl was so poisonous and would deal with him.

Ci Xin was about to raise his hand to spank little Xi'er, but little Xi'er tilted her head and looked at him.

"Master, what are you doing?" On the side, Xiao Yue also turned his head to look over.

Even Wen Xu looked over and said, "Imperial Master, why are you bullying the little princess!"

So, baby Xiao Ruo was taken away by Wen Xu again.

Nanny Gui wanted to hold him, but the problem was that it was not her turn.

The interrogation in the middle of the night did not produce any results, so Zhang Baiyun was detained first.

The interrogation was repeated during the day the next day.

Back in the room, Xiao Yue sat on the bed and coaxed Xiao Xier to sleep, while Nanny Gui and Hong Mei were waiting on the side.

"You go and have a rest, Hong Mei, check the people in the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow, and don't miss any details." Xiao Yue said.

"Yes." Hong Mei nodded.

"This time, I think someone is going to do something big!" Nanny Gui said.

"Yeah, I think so too!" Xiao Yue nodded.

She remembered what Xi'er said when she just gave birth to baby Xi'er, saying that the Wei Dynasty would be controlled by Shangguan Jinghong, who was from Xiyue.

However, Xi'er did not seem to say who Shangguan Jinghong was in league with.

At present, it is no one except the prime minister!

But if it is the prime minister, Xiaoyue really doesn't know what he is trying to do, and she doesn't know what the queen is trying to do.

If the queen educates Ting'er well, as the eldest son of the emperor, he has good talents and will definitely be the best choice for succession in the future.

However, Xiaoyu Ting is now running away with his back turned, which makes Xiaoyue sad and a little confused.

Who is it? !

He is manipulating this big chess game.

Thinking of this, Xiaoyue leaned against the head of the bed and gradually fell asleep.

Baby Ruoxi, on the other hand, had an uncertain sleeping time during the day and at night. She closed her eyes and thought about something.

Nanny Gui and Hongmei had been protecting them day and night, but now they could no longer hold on and fell asleep.

There was movement on the roof.

Baby Ruoxi thought about it, and with a thought, a stream of mysterious energy rushed out, directly hitting the person who had just removed a tile.

"Crack, crack!"

There was a noise on the roof, and someone rolled down.

Around, a dozen guards immediately flew over.

The person on the roof was dealt with, and the guards strengthened the defense. There was no movement in the house.

"You said that a master sneaked in last night to assassinate?" Xiaoyue asked.

"Yes, but he was caught by the guards. He is ranked eighth in the world and is a master of Qinggong. He will not take action easily unless the price is high!" Hongmei said. "

Let's go and ask him how much the lives of this princess and Xier are worth!" Xiaoyue picked up her daughter and walked outside.
